A 6 mãos - The movie

Once upon a time there was a father, a man of a
huge culture, that always read before making love, and also after. And a mother
that loved above all things with an endless capacity for giving. And they made
love so many times with that condition and contradiction. Together they made 6
children, leaving their genes of reason and emotions, without choosing any
particularly. And they launch them to life. None of the 6 noticed that, not at
all, because it was delivered in small parts, a little bit to each one. One sixth
of culture, one sixth of love that melted in the instincts of each one, with no
suspect. And each one face life in separate ways, some more creepy, some more
sweet. Always with the happiness of those that don’t care about tomorrow. One
in finance, another in medicine, others in natural sciences, engineering and
the magic world of the numbers (mathematics). Some with rationality, some with
emotions, not suspecting that there was emotions in the rationality and
rationality in the emotions. Some with the success that precedes the drawback,
some with the drawbacks that precede the success. Until one day, a shiny day,
the sixth of the father that read before and after making love plus the sixth of
the giving mother melted their nature with a past, without a present and with
the best of the futures. And each one of the six took their combined sixths and
melted with the bro on his side. And sixth by sixth a heart, an intense and
huge soul and an endless happiness were made. Things that only could come from
a father that read before and after making love and a mother that loved and gave
above all things.

And this is the overwhelming adventure that was
lived by the sixth, the best of the sum of their lives. A book written by six
hands, with six crossed looks about things lived on six different times. Me and
my brothers.

Shakespeare said one day, surely marked by
emotion and rationality, that true family is the friends we choose. We had the luck
and the wisdom of building a brotherhood over a true friendship that this book
brought up to the surface.

A PhD ON THE ROAD User´s manual

The PhD on the road adventure started in November 2008 and finished in August 2010 and tells the epic event of writing an Engineering PhD while going around the world. The global adventure should be red/seen as the reading of a romance, not all at once. Each post combines text, photos (sometimes small videos), played along with music (in diaporamas) with the respective lyrics being part of the story. Within the whole story, there are small histories that be recognized by the basic title of the movies (movies with the same basic title are chapters of a same small history). The following histories can be found within the whole adventure, apart from some technical and/or isolated movies:

1 - Tuareg (Morocco)

2 - On the Track of Livingstone (Mozambique)

3 - A Love Story (Sri Lanka)

4 - 7 weeks in Tibet (Tibet)

5 - Empires of the East (China)

6 - Making Possible the Impossible (Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau)

7 - Uma História de Peão (Brazil)

8 - Arriba Zapata (Mexico)

9 - Learning with the youth (London, Legoland)

10 - Small Things Are Always Great (Porto Santo)

11 - Blowin' in the Wind (Sailing from Porto Santo to Algarve)

12 - Rings of Fire (Guatemala, Mexico and Azores)

13 - When i´m desperate i go talk to my granites (Alvarenga)

14 - Shadows (Alpendorada)

15 - The Thesis (Portugal)

16 - The Obelix Party (Parc Asterix and Granja)

...and after the end of PhD on the road (september 2010), the blog was kept alive with the following histories:

COMBINARTE

My strongest believe is based upon COMBINING.

Combine...the Olive oil and Water, the Heaven and the Hell,Art and Science, and Format and Chaosthe Inteligent and the limited, the "Cool" and the agressive,the Family man and the Adventurer, the domestic and the nigth watcher.And so the Weak becomes Strong when the Strong Weak becomes.Imagine Michael Schumacher driving a donkey. What wouldn´t the donkey gain, and how much higher Schumacher would have gone?
